   A country's average unemployment hides age: the young rate is several times the adult rate. One country, one comparison: people aged 15–24 against those aged 25–74 in the same month.

   Two bars: unemployment at ages 15–24 and at ages 25–74, % of each age group's labour force.

   Eurostat une_rt_m: monthly seasonally adjusted unemployment, September 2026.

   Unemployment is a share of those working or looking for work, not of everyone that age: students not looking for work are outside it. A student looking for a side job counts as unemployed. Monthly estimates for small countries fluctuate and get revised.

   And the EU as a whole? 15.5% for the young against 5.3% for adults.
